Debranding Spikes

[kick'em.down]

Anyone know a good way to do it? The logo I'm looking at is sewn on, or looks like it but I can't get at the threads. I poked around Oldstat and there was some mention of acitone, but I want to make sure of a way to do it before I try and put my spikes under the knife

debranding is not that hard, all you will need is an exacto knife or something close too it.

1) Find a part of the swoosh you can lift up a little bit to see the threads under. The back end point or the very tip of the swoosh is going to be your best bet.

2)Take your cutting object and slide it under the swoosh to cut through one thread that is holding the swoosh down. NOTE: DONT CUT THE STITCHING YOU SEE ON TOP OF THE SWOOSH. Doing this will get you no where.

3) Now that you have cut that first thread the rest is easy. Pull the swoosh up as much as you can. (you may need to cut a few more threads to be able to lift it a little) You should see the threads that are loosened; you can cut these or pull them out. NOTE: pulling out the thread makes for easier clean up because you get the whole thread out of the shoe instead of having the all the little pieces to worry about, but it does take a little longer.

4)As you pull out more thread peel the swoosh off more. Try to get all the swoosh going one direction like you are peeling it off. It is a lot harder to try to just trace the outside edges, if that makes sense?

After finishing taking both off one shoe you should feel like a pro and the other shoe should be easy.

Good luck
If you have any questions just ask.

I was bored at home today so I decided to debrand my lanangs. I took a Swiss army knife and popped the stiching that connected the swoosh. Part of the reason I did it is that I'm going to an adidas school so this way if I want to wear them there are no issues. But it was mostly out of boredom and seeing at this thread Pretty pleased with the outcome.
